The lovely thing about this win is that it's so ironically appropriate.

For years the anti-gunners have been making life hell for gun owners by playing "gotcha" over technical violations (and voting for layering on yet more rules/requirements that can be used as more "gotchas").

So now here they are, hoist upon their own petard.

They play the game of burying *us* under countless regulations, but don't seem to think that *they* should have to follow any rules (even the gun laws, as when Carl Rowan illegally possessed/used a handgun in handgun-banning DC, and Sarah Brady illegally did a "straw purchase" of a firearm recently to give as a gift).

So now they get a taste of their own medicine. Not only could it not have happened to a bigger bunch of statists, but as another poster pointed out, maybe they'll start getting a clue if *they* get bitten on the butt a few times by the same sorts of "technicalities" that they've been using as a weapon on us all these years.

These people want to take our freedom. If we are squeamish, we will lose. Here's some good practical reading (a short summary), Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". Very good tips. Hardball.

WE are the "radicals" now, because we are fighting the liberal status quo.
